Episode 17 recap: Liu Yueqing came to see Pei Xun.
Pei Xun was in the rain when Liu Yueqing came over, holding an umbrella. Pei Xun asked why Liu Yueqing had come. Liu Yueqing explained that during this period of time, she had been taken care of by Pei Xun in the Eastern Palace, so naturally she wanted to come and see him. Pei Xun remarked that if Liu Yueqing was eventually going to leave, there was no need for her to come.
Han Zhen came to inform Pei Xun that the supplies sent to the border had not been received. The border was now in turmoil, and they were demanding the reshipment of the supplies. Someone accused Pei Xun of mishandling the transportation of military provisions, resulting in the people at the border not receiving the supplies. They demanded severe punishment for Pei Xun. Yu Minghe's father accused Pei Xun, claiming that Pei Xun had seized his son's fiancée and driven his son away. He requested the emperor to intervene on his behalf.
Pei Hao learned about this matter and came to find the emperor. He believed that although Pei Xun had many issues, he would never do such a thing. He urged the emperor to investigate thoroughly and not wrongly accuse Pei Xun. Han Zhen came to inform Liu Yueqing that Pei Xun would not be having a meal with her today. Liu Yueqing asked if something had happened and expressed her intention to go out, but Han Zhen stopped her. Yu Minghe's father arrived to announce the imperial decree, in which the emperor ordered Pei Xun to reflect in seclusion. Yu Minghe's father stated that the emperor's verbal decree meant that Pei Xun should kneel.
Pei Xun knelt in the rain, and Liu Yueqing came over, holding an umbrella, to see him. Pei Xun asked why Liu Yueqing had come. Liu Yueqing expressed that during this period of time, she had been in the Eastern Palace and had been taken care of by Pei Xun, so naturally she wanted to come and see him.
